Macbook air can’t even understand
Where there is a hole there is a way.
look at what they need to mimic a fraction of our power
Smooth like a Ken doll.
Why cables when wireless protocols do trick?
Let’s not rehash that argument. Use what works for you and let other people use what works for them. There is no right and wrong way that works for everyone
Agreed, just trying to post in the shitposting spirit 🤣
I have a MacBook Pro and use a CalDigit TS4 hub because I need more ports.
Woah that’s an expensive dock! What do you need it for?
Macbooks refuse to connect to more than one display over a USB-C dock, meaning you have to purchase a thunderbolt dock.
Mine does two displays every day at work using usb-c dock…
Two 4K monitors, a mic, a camera*, a personal yubikey, a work yubikey, an iPhone charging puck, and a spare port to occasionally charge the keyboard or trackpad.
*despite being TB4, the dock’s bandwidth is insufficient for a 4k camera stream running through an Elgato Camlink, so my dock (ascrono vertical docking station) has one of its ports going to the cam and the other to the hub. I’m convinced there isn’t a hub on the market that supports my requirements.
Because I rather not have environmental damaging batteries in every device I use when my laptop has a big enough one to power them all and is close by at all times anyway.
Seriously, wireless protocols over a distance of <1 meter are worthless and unnecessary.
I never said anything about battery operated devices. I was thinking things like printers and external storage.
God is dead
How do I change the USB notification sound to animeSqueak.mp3? Asking for a friend
Thank you for the particular feeling of fucked up laughter I didn’t know i needed this morning.
This gave me an idea for my next artpiece…
The desk clutter for this setup makes my eye twitch. I’d rather have 1 or 2 cords connected and a dock tucked away.
Edit: Ports good for flexibility on the go. But at home, I don’t want a rat’s nest of cables. Cable management is what separates us from the animals.
Agreed. I prefer a ‘proper’ dock like the HP ultra Slim dock 2013 or the Lenovo ThinkPad pro dock, where you set the laptop into it and you’re good to go, but times change and the current usb-c thunderbolt docks are reasonably decent now. One cable if your laptop doesn’t have insane power demands, or two if you use a laptop with >100W draw
ThinkPad life!
I’m so jealous of the laptop-- I mean, god has abandoned us.
